A press note received here stated that conservation biologists work in both the field and office, in government, universities, non-profit organizations and in industry. In response to the extinction crisis, the research of conservation biologists is being organized into strategic plans that include principles, guidelines, and tools for the purpose of protecting biodiversity, under the banner ‘Biodiversity is Life, Conserve it’ sponsored by MoEF, supported by NPCB.
The note also stated that “Biological diversity” or “biodiversity” can have many interpretations and it is most commonly used to replace the more clearly defined and long established terms, species diversity and species richness. Biologists most often define biodiversity as the “totality of genes, species, and ecosystems of a region”. An advantage of this definition is that it seems to describe most circumstances and present a unified view of the traditional three levels at which biological variety has been identified.
